@1impossible_grl @LanaMWiggins1 @Acyn We love the sentence fragments, don't we folks, we love 'em - a sentence fragment came up to me - a big, strong, declarative sentence fragment, tears in his i's, and he said to me, sir...

@mrhenrymorris @GoodwinMJ It's terrible when loads of new people move in and the character of an area changes. People who've lived there all their lives feel pushed out. It's called gentrification and it's nothing to do with immigrants. Weirdly, Matt doesn't seem bothered about that "loss of the familiar"

@Saint_Gerrard @somefingoruvver @mrhenrymorris @GoodwinMJ So you're saying the people to worry about are the bilingual ones with brown skin, not the ones rioting violently and looting sausage rolls from Greggs.

@TheJasonNichols @Esqueer_ If you're actually interested in the science of sex, I suggest this thread:

@ashtonforbes @michaelianblack Models are the heart of science. The Standard Model in particle physics, the electron orbital model in chemistry, Newtonian physics - these are all models. A model is just a way of simplifying the world until you can describe it mathematically.

@imJohn5k @michaelianblack @ashtonforbes If a doctor tells me I need antibiotics, I accept that because they're an expert. That's not appeal to authority. It *would* be if that doctor then told me "I'm a doctor, so you should vote the way I say," because that's no longer relying on the doctor's expertise.

[Knight a la Carte @KnightALaCarte]

@imJohn5k @michaelianblack @ashtonforbes That's not what appeal to authority is. If I say "I'm going to listen to these experts because they've spent years studying this area of science," that's humility. I don't have the time or the expertise to evaluate all the evidence myself, so I listen to experts. Everyone does.

@tonysullybooks @TabitaSurge There are species of fungi that have 100s of sexes. There are species that change sex, asexual vertebrates, hermaphrodites, intersex individuals, species where the female has a phallus...

Evolution shows us that sex is far more complex and beautiful than a simple binary.

@PeterJStockwell I still remember the mnemonic for the reactivity of metals I was taught almost 30 years ago - "please send Lord Charles MacLean a zebra if the lame horse cannot munch sweet grass politely." If I'd been taught "PoSLICaMZICSG" I don't think I'd have remembered it for 30 minutes.

@ChrisBalchin4 @Djon_Ma @HHoguera @EnbyScot @Steven_Swinford @breeallegretti So your propositions are "there has to be a binary to be outside it" and "you can't be outside the binary". Logically one of these, or both, must be false (it's both, BTW). Gender and sex aren't the same thing, and they're both a lot more complicated than a simple binary.

@MiroslavMcG @RevDaniel @oldsoulchef Show me where Jesus mentions homosexuality (hint - He doesn't).

Now imagine a young person discovering they're attracted to people of the same gender, and how they feel to be told their God-given nature is sinful.

Jesus said stuff about that. It involved millstones and the sea.

@speakoutsister "Constantly disappointed by the bad breath of the face-eating leopards. I get why they want to eat people's faces, but why with such endless halitosis, and increasingly in the company of other predatory animals that want to eat other parts of our bodies?"

@FJScott3 @zachrobert15 @MissHavispam @KatyMontgomerie What does "develop around producing" a particular gamete mean? In a real biological sense?

[Knight a la Carte @KnightALaCarte]

@Daderp1242389 @KatyMontgomerie Not sure what "brain sex" is though. The idea there's a "male brain" and a "female brain" is total bollocks. Maybe he means gender. Which is different from sex.

[Knight a la Carte @KnightALaCarte]

@Daderp1242389 @KatyMontgomerie Yes, because they are. Chromosomal sex (whether you have a Y chromosome) is different from genetic sex (whether the SRY gene is expressed) and hormonal sex (relative levels of estrogen, testosterone, etc). It's a lot more complicated than what you get taught in school.

@SpiderCatNZ @ScotCuthbertson Misgendering someone once or even several times has never been a hate crime. Repeatedly misgendering someone as part of a sustained pattern of harassment (a crime) is a hate crime.

@Justdavenow1989 Don't blame mental illness. They're not ill, they're just cunts. Racist cunts.

@MichaelRosenYes If there were dark clouds on the horizon, threatening rain, my Nan (from Sheffield) used to say "It's a bit black over Bill's mother's." No idea if there ever was a real Bill, but his mother always seemed to be where the dark clouds were, poor woman!
